Because this runs on Linux and we're just using the APR defaults, the process locks are SysV semaphores. Maybe sometime in the far future, once glibc 2.10 appears on our systems, we might try APR_LOCK_PROC_PTHREAD and see if we can't get the shiny new pthread_mutexattr_setrobust() support into APR. (As a side note, anyone know if this has come up yet in the APR world, maybe for a recent Fedora or something? I'm not sure what distros might have glibc 2.10 in them at all.)
Ah ... I see that pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np() and friends are actually in glibc as of about 2.5 or so; I went looking for the POSIX 2008 names and managed to confuse myself. And for that matter, I still can't tell if glibc 2.10 does support the new names (without the _np) or not. Oh well.
